Donald Trump is over-the-top on an hourly basis, but even by his standards, his frenetic defense of Tesla CEO Elon Musk this week was unsettling. "Elon Musk is 'putting it on the line' in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!" Trump posted on Truth Social at 12:14 AM on Tuesday. Musk's company is seeing plummeting stock prices and sales, around the world, due to his association with Trump and his efforts to illegally decimate the federal government through his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Trump went on to bemoan "the Radical Left Lunatics" for "trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s great automakers, and Elon’s 'baby, in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for." Trump, pledging to purchase a Tesla, spent a large part of Tuesday afternoon cutting a commercial for Musk's car company.
This is like Joe Biden hosting a Hunter Biden art exhibition with his paintings for sale at the White House, only Hunter is actually the unelected co-president and not just a private citizen https://t.co/6M4wQ0wbCZ
